India has 137 million and US 244 million internet users. The internet penetration of the two countries are far apart – India 11%, US 78%. The size of internet economy of India and US would be poles apart.

The Internet user base in India has grown but it is still not big enough as most of us want it to be. It hasn’t grown fast enough. Akamai releases a report every quarter “The State of the Internet“. It may sound cynical but we tend to see how bad India looks in that report. Instead we should have been looking forward to see how is India improving in terms of internet speed, internet penetration.
